<br />there. There is a pending bill that would be a break to water users but it is <br />not included in Gene's current number. It is currently only a bill, not <br />legislation. <br />. There are still some Cooperators that are working on the review of <br />Chapter 4 and the goal is to have comments back to the COE in two <br />weeks (approximately October 2). <br /> <br />3e) Dam Safety and Seismic Review <br />. Eric reported that the cores have been collected at Chatfield and they are <br />at the lab for analysis. Once the results are back, COE scientists will <br />begin work on the liquefaction calculations. If it looks like there are issues <br />from a liquefaction standpoint, the dam will be called a critical structure <br />and there will be a standard deviation added to the calculations. If the <br />liquefaction calculation is low, the dam would not be classified as a critical <br />structure and they can move on. The COE scientists should release <br />results next month. <br /> <br />4) Recreations Analysis <br />. Dave Geiger (Colorado State Parks) said that he recently conducted a <br />conference call with the State and COE regarding the cut and fill issue <br />with the two pools at Chatfield. The Lot Pool to the Conservation Pool and <br />the Conservation Pool to the spillway has to balance from a construction <br />standpoint. The summary notes from the conference call were given to <br />Fred Rios (COE) and other COE staff members yesterday in order for <br />them to review the decisions that were made. <br />. EDAW has been redefining what their scope of work is in light of recent <br />COE policy changes and the final iteration went out yesterday for <br />approval. They now have the right information to go forward with <br />recommendations for completing their studies. <br />. Dave reported that Tom helped the State get funding through an <br />agreement with the City of Centennial because the State was limited on <br />how much more they could spend with EDAW. Once the contract is in <br />place they have 90 days to complete their analysis. Dave wanted to thank <br />the COE for some movement in their thinking on how to handle the <br />situation. Eric wants to see some updates within the 90 day contract <br />period so he can begin passing on numbers so the COE budget <br />department can start working on estimates. With this new funding, Setty <br />can move forward on her Unit Day Value (UDV) study as well. <br />. Tom said that an important item came up since the last meeting: existing <br />structures and facilities that do not have to be moved as part of the <br />reallocation are grandfathered in and do not have to move according to <br />the new COE policy (located above the 1 O-year flood elevation). <br />. Dave said that the SSC Socioeconomic Study is on hold until some of <br />these issues are resolved with EDAW. SSC will have to know where the <br />facilities and structures are going to be relocated to before they can work <br />on economics. He is hoping that SSC and EDAW can finish their studies <br /> <br />Tetra Tech <br /> <br />6 <br />
